When did you try it? This here is v1.1, while the official is v1.2. If true, this spells bad news for those that put their hopes in the new version. In fact, I'm willing to bet that plenty will still have problems running the game, no matter what. It's a natural consequence of Leo's decision to shift from flash or non-Unity HTML5. Progress comes with a price; at first for subscribers, later for Leo and the team. It's only natural that one would be compelled to test the game first.
I've tried the game on a low spec machine (a GPD Win) and it opens. I haven't played more than 2 minutes, so I have no idea if it's stable. However, it's safe to conclude that opening the game has nothing to do with available RAM or processor.
I heard that there's an index or start .html file hidden somewhere in Sam's realease. I would strongly advise to open it with a variety of browsers, starting with Firefox. In fact that's exactly how I've played all S&G titles on my Android. I would also advise playing with resolution. Try 1280*720 for a start. Plenty of times in the past this was a culprit.
Good luck and thanks one again for all involved in the process of bringing this game to us!
New here sorry for the delayed response.
To answer I tried this version over this past weekend (Sunday I think?) and had no luck on any of my machines, my first is an expensive gaming rig and the other two are a laptop and alternate desktop.
Did not know the versions were different but makes sense, This cracked version just kept me at the opening artwork loading screen and nothing happened after like 30 mins on any of my machines unfortunately. I went out and spent the $20 on the official release and had no problems although the load times were all pretty insane for a flash game, and still had issues with my saves being deleted.
I did finally figure out the cheat engine thing through google chrome though so that considerably sped up my progress. Though I have no idea how to download the game and upload it here or else i would have
I'll leave that to the experts I guess.
I do however appreciate the shit out of these forums though for bringing us ( and trying to bring us these games ) and completely understand problems like this do happen. So I dont blame anyone and thanks for the hard work to all the contributors.
Sinc. Long time lurker
I'm going to try out an alternate crack for my next release, just need to try and find some free time first
No worries, Appreciate the effort & time it took to bring these releases. I'm just a part of the unfortunate minority apparently lol.
